Q.  Hi Louise, Do you know any good value Friday evening brunches/buffets that include alcoholic drinks? I have my parents visiting this coming weekend and I don’t want to take them somewhere too boisterous where the focus is on the drinking not the eating but haven’t really been able to find anywhere for under 250Dhs. Thanks!

A. This is actually quite difficult as most of the deals are for brunch and not the evening but the Jumeirah Rotana do do a Mexican Friday deal for Dhs179 per person all inclusive. The Rotana Towers in their Flavours on Two Restaurant have an Italian night for the same price.
